2. The Rebranding Strategy: Bradford used to be the ‘wool’ capital of the world. However with the decline of the wool industry, Bradford struggled to replace its closing factories. However the once prosperous woollen industry in Bradford has become the focus of a LOCAL HERTITAGE INDUSTRY and given the Town a new lease of life. The Town has used its local heritage to create new attractions of which will attract visitors to the area. The Town has opened a number of new tourist attractions, including Museums within the old factories, shops, licensed bars, local beauty spots and a festival all located in the ‘’model’’ Victorian Village of Saltaire. Saltaire is a designated World Heritage Site by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation.

6. Yes, the rebranding in Bradford has been a success. Reasons for thinking this is that the economy and city has been given a new image as a tourist attraction bringing in 9 million visitors a year. The economy is, as a result, very good. This has allowed the local governments to pay for other modern things such as train networks and new housing. Overall it has been successful.
